We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Stanmore listed using your search tool but stumbled across alternative estimates on the internet appear cheaper – why is this?

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Stanmore concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Stanmore
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Stanmore conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.

We have had DIP from The Mortgage Works who indicated that they will lend up to £117k. At what point do we need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? Stanmore is where we are .
It would be wise to appoint a conveyancing practitioner now so that the lawyer can open the ledger so they can do the AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to start work you will be asked for a payment on account usually approximately £225. That would normally be once you have the loan offer from the bank and survey back, nevertheless should you want to expedite the process you can start quicker even though you may be risking some expense.
